U.S. victorious, Canada finishes 2nd in men's 4x100m final at relay worlds

Italy though? Out of the outside with Marcel Jacobs on the second leg. Courtney Lindsay got the US off to an absolute flyer yesterday. They’re saying we’ll be trying and do the same for France in Lane 6. Aaron Brown, reliable opening leg runner for Canada, is in five. Courtney Lindsay of the USA was the fastest out of the blocks yesterday and it started well again. Already up on Italy who are about to handle the bottom to Marcel Jacobs. USA changed a decent 1. Kenny Benderet is up on Marcel Jacobs outside him. Canada are going well. On the second leg for them is Jerome Blake, USA On the outside, Kyrie King has the baton. Italy outside them, Canada coming through ahead of Britain, Northern Ireland right on the inside as well. But it’s no alliance with the batten in hand at the moment. And surely there’s an unassailable lead for no alliance. Andre De Grasse in second place and Italy inferred with Filippo Tortos. But the USA complete hat trick here in the Bahamas has no alliance. The world champion brings them home ahead of Canada and Italy. Well, like we said earlier on, if you give the back to someone of that quality in that position, there was going to be no other result, 37.40, the USA absolutely flying only two hundredths of a second outside their championship record from nine years ago. Andre De Grasse had a good final leg as well but there was no way Daphne was catching No alliance. No, that’s that’s one of the the things that’s very difficult. I think when you know that they are in front and no one else is coming then you know that that must be a difficult thing. But the grass is really, really strong lag because he he didn’t can close it but they can just yeah do the same distance I think and that’s very important for him to to know. Well Marcel Jacobs didn’t really have too much chance to make much of an impact because he was down when he got the baton. The USA right alongside them in lane seven and eight out there he was up against Kemi Bednarek down the back straight, who had a probably a 5m or so head start on Marcel Jacobs down the back straight, but the USA flags. The Stars and Stripes have been getting plenty of air time in the course of the last 20 minutes or so. We’ve had three finals and the United States have won them all and given their history and relays Nathaniel, they haven’t always got the Batten round. Some USA fans will be pleasantly surprised to see such a level of successful end tonight. Canada taking the silver medal again, we talked about them previously as the ultimate championship performers really. The Olympic silver medal winning quartet didn’t make the final in Budapest in the World Championships. Italy, the Olympic champions. Of course the world silver medallists weren’t able with their Olympic champion team, three of their Olympic champion team, including the individual winner Marcel Jacobs to make an impact. So USA have won all three so far. We’ve got the 24 by 400 metres finals to come, both of those in seeded lanes as well. Could the USA go five out of five in the finals? So Italy folding up their flags and giving them back? Oh, they’re passing on to their team mates, not wild celebrations of the Italians at the moment down there. Eventually we get their medals round their neck. We’re going to replay it in just a moment and how that race unfolded whiles a bit like Simbini earlier on when he was given the battening a a commanding lead, the positions weren’t going to change when you’ve got runners all of high, high calibre on the final leg. A lot of the work has been done by the three previous runners. They’re almost like a family now. Those four aren’t they, For Canada wouldn’t be a 4 by 100 metre relay team if any of them weren’t there. Ultimately one day they won’t be, but at the minute they’re riding high for Canada with second place. It’s another brilliant opening length of Courtney Lindsay isn’t it? Who’s giving them such an advantage over Jacobs here down the back straight? It was a very fast first leg look at Beneric, but also Jacob is running really good here because he was on the same position and that was really good as well. It’s a brilliant leg and look at that. Not the cleanest change between Beneric and Kyrie King. Italy was smooth on the outside, but no real momentum lost. Kyrie King running another good bend and that was well drilled stuff from the USA. And just that final change, that sense of relief when you get the battle in the hand of the anchor leg runner, and if that runner happens to be Noah Lyles, you probably feel even better. Let’s have a look at how smooth this was again from them. Pretty good room for improvement you’d say, but pretty good. Yeah, it’s good enough because they don’t need to take any risk of it because they are a very fast team. So then you need to take any risk room for improvement if you’ve got really, really high standards. But Lyles again, all out towards the line and again I’d be fascinated to see how the splits come out. For that one he ran 8 point something just even though splits are relatively meaningless, 8.88. But Lyles on that final leg, Italy coming up as a disqualification. More on that to come shortly.
